7:12 am
well, keith lawrence, she was 26, he was 27, very young people, very tragic. let's come back to here in bear lake today, sun is up now and clear skies, none of the hideous snow which means patrols can actually now go out and we see more police officers turn up today, an extra 24 deputies around apparently on top of the efforts and i'm sorry, on top of the teams we've seen out there, tactical teams back on top of the mountain and apparent apparently dressed in camouflage and very worried if he is up here, dorner could be laying in ambush and could be ready to attack them and yet again, no confirmation from the authorities, they don't have that themselves so the search will continue in earnest. >> dominic, quite an intense search going on and as dominic mentioned dorner is the dangerous suspect at the least
7:13 am
because of tactical and firearms training he gained from his time in the u.s. navy and los angeles police department. he may also be armed to the teeth, we understand. we'll speak to a former d.c. detective about this very case and how s.w.a.t. teams at the least are going to find him. >> also an important programming night you might be wondering what the heck are we doing here. well, the weather and storm moved the cost of freedom shows today to a special time, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. eastern, we would not let you miss it. >> and new concerns for the next generation of american citizens, a growing number of people feel the effects of our great recession may never go away, despite claims of an economic he recovery. >> plus, we have new details on a new multi-billion dollar missile defense system, why it's raising some eyebrows among top military officials. >> and there are new concerns about looming defense budget cuts we have been talking about them and we'll speak with retired army major general about that, reducing
7:14 am
military spending when many of our enemies are starting to build their strength and outgoing secretary of defense, leon panetta is sounding the alarm. >> make no mistake, if these cuts happen there will be a serious disruption in defense programs and a sharp decline in our military readiness. sometimes what we suffer from
7:15 am
is bigger than we think ... like the flu. with aches, fever and chills- the flu's a really big deal.
7:16 am
so why treat it like it's a little cold? there's something that works differently than over-the-counter remedies. prescription tamiflu attacks the flu virus at its source. so don't wait. call your doctor right away. tamiflu is prescription medicine for treating the flu in adults and children one year and older whose flu symptoms started within the last two days. before taking tamiflu tell your doctor if you're pregnant, nursing. have serious health conditions, or take other medicines. if you develop an allergic reaction, a severe rash, or signs of unusual behavior, stop taking tamiflu and call your doctor immediately. children and adolescents in particular may be at an increased risk of seizures, confusion or abnormal behavior. the most common side effects are mild to moderate nausea and vomiting. the flu comes on fast, so ask your doctor about tamiflu. prescription for flu.

7:19 am
it's a miracle. >> some new perspective on the current state of the economy right now. according to the bureau of economic analysis since the end of the recession in 2009 the u.s. economy has grown 7.5%. compare that to double digit growth in other post recession periods and it appears that president obama has presided over the weakest economic recovery since world war ii. this as a new fox news poll shows 52% of americans believe the worst is yet to come. that's up from 48% just a year ago. let's bring in our political panel, angela mcglowan and a former spokesperson for vermont gosh howard dean who is also a presidential candidate. ladies, thanks for joining us, look, there's a lot of pessimism right now as we're seeing right now, a degree of uncertainty amongst the american people and why do you think that is when we're seeing that the economy shall at least our unemployment rate dropped to below 8%.
7:20 am
>> americans, americans are suffering, kelly. i mean, people today, most don't believe in the american dream anymore, most don't believe they can obtain a house or even keep their house, most are living from paycheck to paycheck, if they have a job and more americans are living on government assistance. now, is that the fault of the obama administration? is it the fault of congress? or is it the fault of the american people? we elected these people in office, and we reejected obama and his policy has failed us, kelly. we don't know what the middle class is today because the middle class continues to shrink. >> christy, what i hear angela saying and i don't want to put words in her mouth, but when you point an accusing finger at someone you've got four fingers pointed back at you. is it the american people's fault we're in the state that we're in. >> if the economy were a person, someone who had a life threatening ailment, made a miraculous recovery and still has a little bit after nagging
7:21 am
cough. i absolutely agree that the economy, the growth is by historical perspectives, but at the same time a ton of positive signs all around. one is that the stock market is at its highest levels or near highest levels in five years and consumer confidence is still fairly high and we've yet again revised the jobs numbers in the last few months which means that we're basically creating about 150,000, $200,000 jobs a month and that's actually pretty good. >> what types of jobs are those? the bottom line is, you have college students graduating today, they can't obtain gainful employment so they can't pay back their student loans and we still have the high home foreclosures and when i say, kelly that the american people are at fault, for us, the president works for us. harry reid has not passed a budget in three years and we want to raise the debt limit yet again and washington d.c. is spending money like dunken sailors. >> let me stop for a moment. i want to interject something,
7:22 am
you're talking about the spending problem. i want to bring up another poll about the spending problem. check this out. recently took, president obama says the government doesn't have a spending problem and we ask the american people that we sample what do they think? 83% says yes, it does have a spending problem and 14% say, it doesn't. well, those 14% might be extremely well off or maybe their head is in the sand and they don't see the need, the economic needs of the american people. christy, what say you about this? do we have a spending problem? and why can't the obama administration admit that. >> we have a spending problem and what we need to do is careful investors in the economy and they say again and again and anytime tell them yes, there should be a careful balances of tax cuts and spending. >> and what we've seen for the republican party is cut, cut, cut. the fact is that's true. with the tea party economics plan seems to be let's cut
7:23 am
jobs to somehow create jobs. you can't cut jobs. >> christy, insanity is doing something over and over again-- >> and the economy, just doesn't take sense. >> insanity is doing something over and over again and expecting the same results. we cannot tax our way to prosperity. we cannot spend our way to prosperity. >> cut our way to prosperity, angela. >> and invest in companies that are going bankrupt. >> angela and christy, where can we find the agreement? the problem that we have is we apparently cannot find any agreement on capitol hill between congress and of course the white house and the president and we can't find any agreement with the political divide along partisan lines and we're faced with the partisan paralysis in dealing with the economy. >> and where can we find a common bond and cut spng where we need to. >> washington d.c. is broken, kelly and dysfunction aal until members of congress do their
7:24 am
job instead of their ego and getting reelected, until the president comes to the fold and compromises, we will get worse with the economy and jobs. >> christy. >> i think that's one area where american people do agree, that congress is broke he p. another is another area i think we also agree, we need to address income inequality and need to address inequality and we have the greatest gap between the rich and poor in a hundred years and what we need to do is grow the middle class and that's why president obama has suggested measures like taxing the rich just a little bit more and-- >> and we don't grow the middle class. >> so that we can grow the middle class that way. >> and we don't grow that middle class by taxing people more. more people are seeing more money taken out of their paychecks, since the new obama-- >> that's not true. >> ladies, ladies, christy and angela. >> tlove you both, but we've got to go. >> good to be here. >> thank you. good to have you, thanks for your perspectives. >> great.
7:25 am
>> so we want to give you a preview of an exclusive news, fox news sunday interview, chris wallace sitting down with house minority leader nancy pelosi to talk gun control and chris asking her whether it's time to confront hollywood over violence in movies, listen. >> why don't you go to your friends in hollywood and challenge them, shame them and say, shock it off? >> i think that whatever we do, when you tell them about evidence based, we have that throughout our proposal, in other words, we don't want to just be anecdotally writing bills. >> now, there's so much more in the exclusive interview with minority leader pelosi and arizona senator john mccain will join chris and tune into fox news sunday and check your local listing. >> i look forward to seeing that. in the meantime, the snow is falling in a lot of of different places as millions wake up to the aftermath of a historic storm and it's not over yet, folks. hundreds of thousands are without electricity as we speak, five states now under emergency declarations and some people are not even
